A remarkable life; a remarkable career. I met Eva Marie Saint many years ago, at the Port Townsend Film Festival, and she couldn’t have been lovelier. May she rest peacefully. (And may we all rewatch North by Northwest in her honor). variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Welles’ finest film and one of the best film noirs of all time. Visually brilliant and morally complex. Likely an influence on Dirty Harry thematically.

How the American life changed from 1995 to 2026 is wild. More concerts, more exercise, more video games. Fewer books, less church, not staying at work longer (I guess you leave on time and continue work at home?). Source: buff.ly/QkmYfkv

Built in 1795, this 4-bed, 4-bath home in historic Old Town Marblehead sits on just a 2,000sf lot. Today, you’d need a lot over 4x the size to build the same home here. Imagine proposing Marblehead to Marblehead today…

It’s bad enough that the Yankees trounced the Red Sox, but to do it with two outstanding players from the Boston vicinity really stings. How did the Sox overlook both Schittler and Rice?

New: USPS is to put cameras in its trucks that continuously record. This is to gather data on roads, signage, and to improve "community safety," the agency tells me. The cameras are marketed to capture passing license plates too, but don't run ALPR software www.404media.co/usps-to-put-...

At the height of the ICE raids earlier this year, agents in armored military vehicles rolled through residential neighborhoods. Masked agents patrolled public parks and stationed themselves outside elementary schools; squadrons of ICE agents snatched pedestrians off the streets. 🧵
